no... you can set different types of water in settings.exe

this is how it looks with refletive water:

And currently there is no way to force a water texture...

Also when i loaded up the map it complained about missing features..

and indeed adding features to maps = win

I like the blue, but the land looks too dark compared to it in NOiZE's picture

I'm not sure why but the map looks seventy five percent darker in-game than your screenshots (yah just like noize's). Did you brighten them up? Looks like a decent map.

also guys when i try to make a featuremap with geos. i put the 1 px down in 2 spots but only 1 of them shows up =/ anyone know y

The way mapconv works, the map has to be super flat anywhere where you place a geo. Try smoothing out the ground under the geo that doesn't work.

ty bro. anyone know how to brighten my map up ??

Look in the [Light] selection of the SMD

Try increasing GroundAmbientColor values, and decreasing GroundShadowDensity, and you may not have to change GroundSunColor.

The unit light values should be approximately the same as the ground ones.

Here is an example that made the map look like your screenshots:

Code: Select all

	[LIGHT]
	{
		SunDir=0.5 1 0.5;
		GroundAmbientColor=0.4 0.4 0.4;		//ambient (non sun lit) color of ground (and grass trees etc)
		GroundSunColor=0.7 0.7 0.7;			//color of ground where fully sun lit (added to ambient)
		GroundShadowDensity=0.8;			//how far from the non shadowed to the ambient color stuff in shadow will go

		UnitAmbientColor=0.3 0.3 0.3;		//ambient (non sun lit) color of units (and wreckage etc)
		UnitSunColor=0.8 0.8 0.8;			//color of units where fully sun lit (added to ambient)
		UnitShadowDensity=0.8;				//how far from the non shadowed to the ambient color stuff in shadow will go
	}
